âś… Do:
Place near bright filtered light (east- or north-facing windows in Addis).
Support with a moss pole for dramatic large leaves.
Trim leggy vines and propagate cuttings in water/soil.
Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth.
❌ Don’t:
Don’t expose to harsh direct sun — leaves will scorch.
Don’t let sit in soggy soil — roots will rot.
Don’t ignore climbing support — without it, leaves may stay small and juvenile.
Don’t expose to cold drafts at night.
